ASP.NET - Refresh Part of a Page

We often come across a scenario where we need to update part of a page. We can use IFrame to refresh part of a page. 
We can achieve this using Ajax also but here I am discussing how we can achieve without using Ajax.

Step 1. Add a page in the project with name “MyPage.aspx”, copy and paste below code in the aspx page
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MyPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="MyPage"%><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server">    <title>Refresh part of page</title>    <metahttp-equiv="Refresh" content="5" />  </head><body>    <form id="form1" runat="server">    <div>       <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>    </div>    </form></body></html>
The below line of code in the head section of the above code will refresh the page after every 5 second.
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5" />
Step 2: Put below bold and italic lines of code in the Page_Load method of MyPage.aspx page, this line will refresh the time on each refresh of the page.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)    {        Label1.Text = "This Page has been refrested at " + DateTime.Now.ToString();    }
Step 3. Now add another page in the project with name “Refresh.aspx”, copy and paste below code in aspx page of Refresh.aspx.
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Refresh.aspx.cs" Inherits="Refresh"%><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"><htmlxmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head runat="server">    <title>Untitled Page</title></head><body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">    <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="" />    <div>           <iframe id = "myFrame" src = "MyPage.aspx" frameborder = "0" style="width: 500px;height:100px">            </iframe>     </div>    </form></body></html>
I have added an IFrame to achieve the goal of part refresh of the page. I have added src property and set it to MyPage.aspx which I have created in step 1.
I have also put a label outside the iframe to show the Date and time when Refresh.aspx page will load.

Step 4: Copy and paste below bold line of code on Page_Load methodprotected void Page_Load(object sender,EventArgs e)
    {        Label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();    }
Now run Refresh.aspx page, you will notice that the time on the Refresh.aspx won’t change but the time on MyPage.aspx will change after every 5 seconds

GRIDVIEW ZOOM IMAGE

When you have images in your  GridView , you would most likely show them as thumbnails so as to not distort the whole layout. However user would want to look at the full image by clicking on the image or just hovering his mouse over it. In today’s applications, this is a basic requirement and there are just so many third party controls or plugins which would support this functionality. I am going do this conventional way using  javascript  way in this article.  On top of it, I am also going to explain how to get images from database using  HttpHandlers . Example: I am using  Adventure Works  as datasource. We fetch handful of products and bind them to the grid. When page is initially loaded, we retrieve products from Production . Product  table and bind them to the grid. We display some product attributes such as Product ID, Product Number, Product Name, List Price and product’s thumbnail. When user hover his mouse on the page, we fetch the f...
